Ormonde Jayne Montabaco is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Geza Schoen. Montabaco opens with Fresh Notes, Bergamot, Orange, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet, Magnolia, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Suede, Sandalwood, Oakmoss, and Tonka Bean. Ormonde Jayne's Montabaco carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

A truly unique tobacco scent that's either a classy masterpiece or a confusing mess, depending on your nose. It's potent yet strangely airy, making it a divisive but ultimately sophisticated choice.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Montabaco opens with a blast of fresh mountain air, uplifted by zesty bergamot and juniper, with a spicy kick from cardamom. As it settles, a refined tea note emerges, subtly softened by violet and rose, before giving way to its distinctive base. Here, a whisper of dry, green tobacco mingles with soft suede, woody sandalwood, and a musky, ambergris warmth, creating an elegant, airy, yet deeply masculine aroma.
